AAAMAZING!!
Posted by: Louie from: on This camera is absolutely amazing. I was lucky enough to get my hands on it and take it for a weekend on a trip. Sony does it again with yet another camera. Finding my way around the menus was a bit tough (even tougher if i didn't already have a sony A6K) I felt i LOVED the sony A6000 so much for a starting camera i really stepped it up when i got the A7Rii. it'll take me a few weeks to really learn the camera and its full potential. So all that being said i would recommend this to a serious photographer or someone looking to start a small business in photography. The A6000 is also a great little camera to start out on. But why not go the distance and "Go Big Or GO HOME" So buy and buy now!
Also the Pictures attached were with a Zeiss 55mm lens

Sony has a great new camera
Posted by: Mlciv from: on I have been a life long Nikon owner. Last year i purchased the A7 and was pleased. The new A7rII puts the original A7 to shame. The feel and rhe shape of the A7rIi reminds you of the old film SLRs. The view finder is much improved and the low light image quality outstanding. I plan on selling my Nikon equipment.

Not ready for Primetime
Posted by: JWILL from: on The Sony A7r2 is a very good camera. Its light and portable and feels good in the hands if you have medium to small hands. A large handed chap will have some issues. The camera has a some cool features including the face detection improvement from the a6000. See my review of the a6000. The 4k is stunning in its native Super 35 mode, which makes this camera an interesting option for an aspiring videographers. 120fps is great for slo mo (wish it was 240fps) Also, you video still punks can get crazy content(sill not real photographers) . The silent shutter is actually SILENT unlike nikon who's silent mode is actually louder than regular. The button assignment options are very useful do to the lack of real estate. EVF is probably the best EVF I have used, even better than the Samsung NK1.
Nevertheless, the camera is lacking important features for pros and enthusiast photographers.
1. Lack of native lens, Sony has not presented any FE lens that are close to being professional. Yes the Sony70-200F4 lens is weak
2. Terrible battery life, really bad.
3. Overheating issues in terms of video.
4. Spotty AF especially in slightly low light situations. I used the camera with a metabones adapter along with canon 85 f1.4, 70-200 IS, and I used sony native FE 24-240 along with 50 mm1.8 sony e-mount. which I had a hard time focusing on my dog inside of my house near open plantation shutter during an afternoon storm
5. Price- A camera with these issues shouldn't cost 3 stacks
6. Fear that Sony will release a7rMK3... look at their history. , A77, A99, A77mk2, Nex and the a7 First Gen E mounts all were either pushed aside or replaced within a 1.5 years. The A77mk2 is a great camera that never got the love or praise. I thinks its Sony ' s Best Camera to date and has the best AF , better than all the A7(s) Also, Sony camera and lens have terrible resale value. Look on any online reseller's site
7. Need buy or use extra equipment aka What weight savings?. Due to the lack of lenses you have to buy an adapter in you are a canon or sony A mount user . So that negates this huge weight savings. Put down the candy and do some pushups. I wonder what canon users are going to do when the Canon 5dMk4 is released and will be the first DSLR with FF 4k. that actually uses the entire sensor( unlike the sony)
8. Touchscreen/ articulating screen- very useful
9. Dual SD card slots. SD cards do fail and why would u take a chance especially with someones special event. Don't be a Jerk
My advice, wait until the a7r5 comes out. The sony a7r2 shines in controlled photographic environments, landscapes and video. Not good for weddings, sports ,wildlife, night time street shooting. U have been warned

Pro shooter switching to A7RII from Canon 1DsIII
Posted by: colonial66 from: on The 43MP sensor on this camera is ahead of anything offered by other pro system makers in the full frame 35mm sensor market. This camera works beautifully with lens adapters for my premium AF Canon lenses and my old incredible AI Nikon lenses (never dreamt I would be able to enjoy these again and frankly didn't know why I bothered to hang onto them)…I love it when a plan comes together so exceptionally well!? Hats off to Sony for their engineering brilliance. I recommend the Sony Vertical grip which holds two of the puny batteries and keep two more spares in the bag. That should cover the longest scenario of a 12-hour still shoot.

A new standard
Posted by: HawaiiCam from: Oahu on I moved from Nikon to Sony for most of my shooting. I kept my DSLR gear for certain situations. I read a few prerelease reviews. They were all glowing, so I decided to preorder. The A7rII does indeed improve on everything my A7 does. The higher resolution is amazing. the focus speed is better. 5 axis stabilization does add to the tool. One must remember to carefully set white balance, ISO, and use top lenses to get the most from this extraordinary camera. It is a bit more demanding than a lesser tool, but it does reward you if you learn it and invest in top quality lenses. Low light ability is great, I did not need 102,000 but the 3200 and 6400 is better than any other camera I have used.
Sony has set a new standard for top quality full frame cameras.

Stunning images
Posted by: SonyCameraGuy from: Cary, NC on This camera is a significant advance over the SLR and SLT cameras I have owned (film and digital). You will need very good lenses to keep up with the sensor resolution, but Sony has quite a few now (SEL2470Z and SEL90M28G are currently serving me well in that capacity). The multitude of focusing options take a while to master, but are well worth the effort. The high ISO performance is excellent! I routinely use 6400 with stunning results. The A7RII provides an adequate frame rate for stills (5 FPS in Speed-priority Continuous mode), but one cannot expect images of this size to transfer quite as quickly as with other Sony cameras (e.g. 12 FPS for A77). Sony has e-mount specifications freely available and there are mount adapters for almost any lens you can name. Some even allow the functioning of in-lens stabilization with Canon and Nikon lenses. The batteries are small (to match the size of the body) relative to SLR and SLT models so you may need 3 or more for an all-day outing. Be warned of three potential consequences of purchasing the A7RII: 1) you will pixel-peep, 2) you will get a serious case of lens lust, and 3) you will spend a more time with your camera (and have fun doing it).

It's good, still needs some improvements
Posted by: baadnewsbear from: on Obviously this is a great camera, and we purchased this for a couple reasons. Here are my Pros and Cons after messing with the camera for a week.
Pros
1. More compact than my Canon 5d Markii
2. Video quality is amazing (resolution/auto focus)
3. Wifi capabilities to transfer images straight to web, Ironic because with such a high quality camera all i've done so far is upload images to Facebook and instagram...
4. Quick and quiet shutter
5. In-camera filters
6. exposure compensation easily adjustable
7. zeiss lenses <3
Cons:
1. Battery. Be ready to purchase a couple of these because they drain very fast. Im assuming its because it uses both screens along with lots of other features.
2. I've tried to use the camera without the back screen on but you have to look through the view finder to go through menus which is not easy. Not sure why Sony didn't add a feature where you can just view the menu on the back screen and use the view finder as just a view finder.
3. metabones adapter for canon lenses is disappointing. I understand that communication between 2 different models can cause confusion and is limited, but it shouldn't effect sharpness. Im really disappointed that my 70-200 ii isn't as sharp as it is on the canon. Oh well, just means i need to save for more Sony lenses.
4. While I'm ranting about lenses, Sony doesn't offer a Zeiss Lens that is larger than 70mm
5. Was having difficulty recognizing raw file on photoshop CS6, but works with CC. So that means more purchases in order to edit raws.
Overall, this camera was a great purchase for our family. Seems to be great for what we use it for. This camera delivers on the fact that it is convenient. As all cameras have their strengths and weaknesses I always say go with the one that feel best in your hands.

Great camera needs good glass
Posted by: ImNoCouchPotato from: on You've read all the glowing reviews. That's what we do, right. Anything negative is disregarded as being written by some ignorant nobody and then we press on to the next 5 star review.
When you consider this camera, you are probably looking for something that will satisfy your pixel peeping appetite. If that's the case, it would serve you well to pay close attention to the glass you buy for this camera. Visit DXOmark and check the sharpness rating before you buy any lens. That is, if you care about sharpness. So far I've got the 90mm Macro, the 55mm f1.8 and the 28mm f2. All are at the top of the sharpness heap and show it in the images. Prior to these, I tried the 24-70 f4 and was disappointed with the sharpness in photos. For video it was fine, but you don't need ultra sharp lenses for video since you are only resolving about 8.8 megapixels.
I'm waiting to see what kind of sharpness values the new G Master lenses get. In the meantime, I'll be saving up.
Is it wrong to want the highest resolution? Maybe, but why use this camera if you are going to settle for less.

Amazing!
Posted by: Nestor90 from: on I have had this camera for about a month now and I am still blown away with the video and pictures this thing outputs. It is expensive but I can honestly say that it is priced this high for a reason. When i bought into it I was not happy with the lens selection but it really seems like Sony has listened and came out with the 50mm 1.8 that is affordable as a starter lens. I mainly use this camera for church events that are indoor and sometimes not well lit except on stage. This camera has made it possible for me to take pictures and video with such good quality and visibility in low light giving me more options for angles I never knew could be attained during some of the church services. Now the only thing I am waiting for is more budget friendly lenses like the 50mm.

I'm a believer
Posted by: SpiderWayneWLD from: Walnut Creek, CA on Long time Nikon user. I first bought the Sony A7SII because I wanted something that worked with video better in low light...check! Then I wanted the A7RII because it has 42mp so I now I'll have one for video and one for photos...check! Now, using both the A7SII and the A7RII I can tell you both are better than my other DSLRS for both Videos and Photos in lower light situations.
Also, I found them extremely easy to learn. I've read that others don'l like the menu on these cameras, I don't know why because I love them.
Battery life is not as good as my DSLR's because but I fixed that buy getting the Vertical Grip which holds two batteries, so no biggy. Adding the Vertical Grip makes the camera bigger which I also like.
I really didn't care if the camera was smaller because it's mirrorless. I bought it because it's photo and video quality is just pure awesome!
Love this camera!
